My university's men's basketball team is in the NCAA tournament for the third time in our history (I know we've been to the NIT at least once as well). We've been knocked out in the first round, then last year beat Virginia Commonwealth University in the first round, but lost to UCLA in the second round. This year, Coach Brad Underwood has apparently been preaching "Sweet 16 or bust" to the team. We shall see.
I love basketball. It's the sport I was always best at (yes in junior high, but fuck you I got fat ... I shrank down again .. years later) mainly because of my long-range shooting and ability to get open (which dwindled with the fat thing). And being born on March 23rd (I turn 25 this year) makes me love basketball all the more because of March Madness.
I'm anxious to see how everyone gets seeded tomorrow. I know we'll be low, but there are a few teams we might eb\nd up with that would be beatable for us. Anything is possible. #Dreambigger Go Jacks!
Had to make a celebration blog. Please continue your day. How is yours by the way?
Yay for your team! I have no allegiances in college sports, so might as well root for your team. What IS your team, anyway? Because it would sound stupid if I had to yell "Go Joe's team!"

We all just yell SFA or Go Jacks! lol
Thanks for the support! When does the Itidarod start?
Started last Sunday. The front runners should be done in the next day or two. I guess the cold is pretty brutal this year, lots of the mushers have frost bite. I didn't pay for the premium service to follow the race this year, so I'm going by what crumbs I can glean from all over the internet as well as the official site.
